Even so, the battle between Yuanshi and this Interception Sect disciple had rather surprised Houtu.
Yuanshi might have been an arrogant Saint in his everyday dealings, but he did possess some real strength.
At the very least, he was far stronger than the Two Sages of the West.
Yet now, an incarnation of a Saint could not even defeat an Interception Sect disciple.

Suddenly, Houtu could not help recalling the rumors circulating throughout the Primordial World.
Apparently, the Interception Sect's Senior Brother had left tremendous opportunities for these disciples.

The battle between Yuanshi and Qiongxiao, however, did not stop because of it.
Ever since comprehending the devouring law, Qiongxiao's strength had undergone a heaven-and-earth transformation.

But the Yuanshi before her was merely an incarnation.
Qiongxiao could handle him with relative ease.
Yuanshi, on the other hand, was far from relaxed.
At first, he had taken Qiongxiao for an ordinary disciple.
Who could have imagined that the
